Paris Olympics 2024

Ever since I was little, it has been a dream of mine to go to the Olympics. Every four summers, I bury myself in whatever sport is on at that moment and I stay up way too late watching live coverage. Gymnastics and swimming have always been my favorites- I can so clearly remember watching Michael Phelps, Shawn Johnson, Gabby Douglas, and Ryan Lochte over the years on tv – but I lose myself in the stories about all of the athletes and their dreams, no matter the sport. I learn something new with every match of volleyball, every leg of the decathlon, every mile of speed walking.

We originally planned to go to the Olympics in Tokyo in 2020- Covid had other plans though, and the event was pushed to 2021. No spectators were allowed.

So, this summer my dream finally came true and did so in the magical city of Paris. See below for a quick recap of our adventures.

The Olympic facilities were truly amazing and we had plenty of time for other fun like Disneyland Paris, all the Parisian meals our hearts desired, and sightseeing.
